Chapter 367

Luo Chenyu finally realized...

This was absolutely going to be a war of attrition, the kind that lasts for a very, very long time.

The only benefit was that the shield value of [Steel Shield] was slowly increasing.

Although the debuffs on his body were constantly whittling down his HP, it didn't matter at all.

As long as [Goddess of Life's Protection] was active, he wasn't afraid of these persistent, absolute damage effects.

What’s more...

He also possessed a small amount of life-steal attribute.

As long as the monsters kept coming, his HP could remain healthy.

"It’s one thing that there are so many monsters, but the fact that they give no experience and have no drops is simply targeting me, Luo!"

Luo Chenyu curled his lips in speechlessness.

As he spoke.

The sky had already changed color, and endless black clouds began to gather.

Thunder roared, lightning crackled...

The lightning was precision-guided, landing directly on top of Luo Chenyu’s head.

It instantly knocked off 5% of his HP!

Fortunately...

He was immune to the paralysis and the debuff that reduced his maximum HP, otherwise, it would have been truly difficult to endure.

Coupled with Heaven Fire World Annihilation...

Right now, his situation really wasn't good.

He shook his head helplessly, his output frequency becoming faster and faster.

There was no choice; if he stopped attacking, his HP would likely not be able to recover.

Fire burning the shield...

Thunder striking the true body...

It was inescapable.

He used every method at his disposal, even frantically activating [Slaughter Domain]; some of the more distant monsters were killed by the domain's continuous damage.

But, it was like trying to put out a burning cart of firewood with a cup of water.

Without explosive damage, he couldn't clear them quickly.

Now...

How he wished he had an offensive skill with a shorter cooldown.

The base explosion damage of [Steel Shield] couldn't achieve a one-shot kill, and that was his greatest limitation.

Yet...

Every offensive skill he had was split up by those mutated skills.

It was simply maddening.

The slaughter continued.

He didn't know how much time had passed; Luo Chenyu had become somewhat numb.

Suddenly...

A commotion stirred in his mind.

He instantly snapped back to reality.

[Notification: Your skill [Slaughter Domain] has absorbed enough slaughter energy and has begun to evolve!]

[Notification: Your skill [Savage Charge] has grown in battle and has begun to evolve!!]

The two notifications were like sweet spring water in the desert, making Luo Chenyu instantly "full HP" and excited.

"Not too late!"

Luo Chenyu nodded with satisfaction.

He had a vague premonition that this evolution would definitely allow his strength to surge once again.

Most importantly...

Both skills were oriented toward output.

Once he had damage, his current "predicament" could be alleviated.

Even if the next special event arrived, he would have some confidence to deal with it.

A few minutes later.

The notification sound in his mind finally rang out again.

[Notification: Your skill [Slaughter Domain] has evolved successfully, gained an additional effect, and increased the attribute absorption cap by two times!]

[Notification: Your skill [Slaughter Domain] urgently requires the Heavenly God Crystal — Bloodlust to unlock the skill awakening!]

[Notification: Your skill [Savage Charge] has evolved successfully, skill awakening is successful, and an additional effect has been unlocked — [Savage Charge True Body]!]

Luo Chenyu was instantly excited.

He opened his skill panel.

The additional effect of [Slaughter Domain] wasn't too eye-catching; it just increased some damage while strengthening control.

The fact that the attribute absorption cap was increased by two times was what made Luo Chenyu the happiest.

In terms of single attributes, it might not have much of an effect.

But...

Constitution was related to the shield value of [Steel Shield], which could increase his shield bombardment damage.

That was enough.

And...

The description for the [Savage Charge] effect, True Body, was very vague; he could only wait to test it.

"Then..."

"Let's begin!!"

Luo Chenyu didn't pause after looking at the [Savage Charge] skill.

He directly used [Savage Charge True Body].

The next moment, a wild light-shadow appeared beside Luo Chenyu, looking extremely fierce and reckless.

But...

Luo Chenyu felt a "refined" scholarly aura from that fierceness.

Good heavens...

It was worthy of being the easiest skill to learn among all his skills.

It looked fierce but loved to study.

"Kill!"

Following Luo Chenyu’s voice, [Savage Charge True Body] instantly vanished from its spot.

Boom!

Boom!

Seeing the attack method of [Savage Charge True Body], Luo Chenyu was instantly stunned.

He really wanted to take back his previous thought.

Refined?

Damn it, this is a bulldozer!

As his only "quasi-offensive" skill, it actually only had one attack mode: ramming!

It rammed the monsters away, causing two stages of damage.

Instant kill!

Moreover... the second stage of damage was an area-of-effect attack, and the effect was very significant.

Not only that, the combat experience of [Savage Charge True Body] seemed very high; every second attack of the ram was aimed at monsters in the same area.

It seemed as if it wouldn't waste any output at all.

It used the fewest means to cause the greatest output.

"Powerful!!"

Luo Chenyu nodded with satisfaction, and then he joined the battle as well.

Cooperating with [Savage Charge True Body]?

No, he took the other side of the battlefield.

He couldn't disrupt the combat rhythm of [Savage Charge True Body].

You have to know...

The duration of [Savage Charge True Body] far exceeded the duration of [Steel Shield True Body] and [Goddess of Life's Protection True Body].

It lasted a full hour, and the cooldown was only 90 minutes.

Superb endurance.

This was the partner he wanted most!

Most importantly...

The damage caused by [Savage Charge True Body] could actually increase the shield value of his [Steel Shield].

This was the most bugged ability.

Accompanied by the outburst of Luo Chenyu and [Savage Charge True Body].

The progress of killing monsters instantly improved quite a bit.

But...

Luo Chenyu was still not satisfied!

This time, he began to utilize the evolutionary ability of [Purple Void Divine Thunder].

Previously, after obtaining the [Heart of Void Divine Thunder] in the Thunder Pool and having it fused by [Purple Void Divine Thunder], an ability had evolved.

But this ability wasn't a conventional method.

Instead, it required constant consumption of his own stamina!

Before, he didn't want to use it.

In a war of attrition, wasting stamina was the least suitable thing to do.

Now...

With [Slaughter Domain] evolved, he could kill monsters to absorb attributes, which was no different from sending charcoal in snowy weather.

The higher the Constitution, the stronger his stamina.

Dealing with such a battle should be enough!

The next moment.
